Ramadan 2025 Begins: Muslims Worldwide Embark on Spiritual Journey

Billion of Muslims across the globe have started celebrating Ramadan, Islam's holiest month. Fasting began on March 1, 2025, in Saudi Arabia and most other nations, after spotting the crescent moon15. But in India and some other South Asian countries, Ramadan will begin on March 2 as the moon was not visible earlier6. During this sacred month, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, engage in increased prayer and charity, and focus on spiritual growth9. The month-long observance culminates with Eid al-Fitr, a joyous celebration marking the end of fasting9. Ramadan's timing varies annually due to the lunar calendar, moving earlier each year2.
